Guidelines for Using Epson Media

Follow these guidelines, as well as those included in your paper package,
when printing on Epson paper and other media:
Avoid touching the printable surface with your bare hands. Fingerprints
•
may affect print quality. Handle media by the edges or use cotton
gloves.
Be careful not to bend or scratch the paper.
•
Make sure you maintain a temperature of 59 to 77
•
with 40 to 60% relative humidity. Avoid rapid changes in temperature
and humidity.
Always choose the correct Media Type setting in your printer driver
•
software before you send your job. See page 80 (Mac OS X) or page 99
(Windows) for instructions.
Always select the correct paper source (roll or sheet) in both the printer
•
driver software and on the printer's control panel. See page 75
(Mac OS X) or page 106 (Windows) for instructions on selecting the
paper source in your printer software.
Keep unused media in its original packaging and store it in a cool, dry
•
place to maintain quality. Avoid storing your printouts where they will
be exposed to high temperature, humidity, or direct sunlight.
Do not use a dryer to dry your prints.
•
Load the media just before printing. When you're finished printing,
•
remove the media from the printer and store it according to the
instructions included with the media.
Store sheet media in the original package on a flat surface.
•
Always load cut sheets in the portrait orientation.
